Chapter 113 is definitely overpowered!
"Bang—!"
Changqing Group is currently monitoring developments in Europe through its overseas news hotline. Director Shen Zekai's wine glass fell to the ground with a thud.
The crimson wine, mixed with shards of glass, bloomed into a flower of despair on the expensive carpet, like an ominous sign.
"This, this... what the hell is this... what the hell is this..." His lips trembled, and his voice changed.
"Is...is anyone outside?!" he roared.
"Yes, yes, Director! What can I do for you?" Uncle Cui quickly pushed the door open and came in upon hearing the voice.
"Quickly, quickly! Call all the Senior Executives over here right now! Immediately!"
Shen Zekai's forehead veins bulged, making him look ferocious and frightening.
Looking at his Director's appearance, Uncle Cui knew, even if he had no idea, that something terrible must have happened.
He dared not delay, responded, and turned to run outside.
"Why... why does this kind of bad luck always happen..."
Shen Zekai slumped listlessly on the sofa, staring blankly at the urgent news flash on the TV screen, as if his soul had been ripped away.
It's truly a case of misfortunes never coming singly, and a delayed boat encountering a headwind!
He felt like a hapless guy being repeatedly crushed and rubbed into the ground by fate. If God wanted to target you, He could arrange the most outrageous plot for you!
On the screen, a line of glaring words, like a red-hot branding iron, burned fiercely into his eyes:
[Breaking News! British Prime Minister David Cameron officially announced the initiation of a referendum on Britain's withdrawal from the European Union!]
Cameron, the newly elected Prime Minister from the Conservative Party who just won the general election, has long been a troublemaker who is dissatisfied with the various rules of the European Union.
This son of a bitch, he just sat on the prime minister's seat, and before he even got comfortable, he dropped such a bombshell, completely stunning the whole of Europe!
Of course, even the Prime Minister can't just decide to Brexit on a whim.
After all, Britain and the European Union have been intertwined for so many years, their relationship deeply intertwined.
The various tangled web of interests can't be untangled in less than three to five years.
If a complete severance were to be undertaken, it would involve interests and terms from all sides, making it far more complicated than untangling a tangled mess.
Moreover, such a momentous event must ultimately be decided through a national referendum; no single politician can control it.
But! The key point is "but!"
Now, the current British Prime Minister, and the Conservative Party which just won the general election, has officially declared that they want to Brexit!
This signal is enough to send shivers down the spines of the entire financial market!
Whether you actually take your clothes off or not, saying this is like throwing a depth charge into a calm lake; it's bound to cause a huge upheaval!
The market will be in deep trouble!
For Changqing Group, which had just suffered a major setback in the French market and had placed all its bets on the UK market in hopes of making a comeback, this was a bolt from the blue!
"That son of a bitch Cameron! That son of a bitch is insane!!"
Shen Zekai could no longer control his emotions. He grabbed the crystal ashtray on the table and smashed it hard against the TV screen!
"Bang--!"
The LCD screen shattered with a crack, just like his mood at that moment.
However, anger comes and goes like the tide.
What followed was a deeper, more suffocating fear.
"What...what are we going to do now? Changqing Group has invested a lot of money in the UK!"
Even if Brexit ultimately fails to pass the national referendum, the current stance of "wanting Brexit " is enough to trigger a strong backlash and boycott from other European Union countries.
On television, follow-up reports have been pouring in:
The French president personally intervened, issuing a strongly worded condemnation of Britain's "betrayal," and threatening to re-examine trade and tourism policies with Britain even if Britain does not Brexit.
Germany The Prime Minister also expressed "extreme disappointment" and hinted at a reassessment of bilateral relations with the United Kingdom;
Following suit, Spain, Italy, and other European Union member states issued statements one after another, condemning Britain's selfish behavior of prioritizing its own interests over the greater good at this critical moment.
Various travel restrictions and trade barriers targeting the UK are expected to follow soon.
This will inevitably cause a major earthquake in the entire British economy!
Changqing Group poured almost all of its assets into marketing and market expansion in the UK. Now, before the money has even had a chance to grow, it looks like it's going to lose everything!
And it's going to be an even bigger loss than the last time in France!
Could it be that—
Just as Shen Zekai was feeling utterly hopeless, a blurry shadow flashed through the depths of his mind like a ghost.
That mysterious operator who has yet to reveal his true identity, who has repeatedly tripped up Changqing Group in the dark, and who manipulates everything like a ghost!
"That bastard... no wonder they seemed so confident back then, did he foresee this happening?!"
The thought made Shen Zekai gasp.
That's impossible!
The British market, which he trusted most, actually slapped him in the face!
This is an earth-shattering change that no one could have predicted!
Who the hell would have thought the British would pull something like this?!
Brexit?! What a joke!
That once mighty Great Britain, which commanded the world, actually did something so foolish as to isolate itself from the European continent!
Even if the referendum fails and Britain doesn't leave the EU, the tourism industry and its international image will be severely damaged by this incident.
Because now, not only the heads of government of various countries, but also ordinary people throughout the European continent regard Britain as a treacherous "enemy of Europe"!
Who would want to travel and spend money in a place that is universally despised?
If that "mastermind" really foresaw even this step...
Shen Zekai felt a chill run through his body, and even the courage to fight back was almost drained away.
This is no longer just a "business genius".
It's no longer at the level of strategic planning.
It goes far beyond being described as "having uncanny foresight."
This is practically a bug-level existence, like having a third eye or future vision, able to directly see the future script!
That's awesome!
That's absolutely cheating!
Rumors that Changqing Group has suffered another major setback in the UK market after its failed investment in France will soon spread like a plague throughout the financial world.
At that time, the banks and institutions holding Changqing Group's commercial paper will surely swarm in like sharks smelling blood, demanding early redemption!
Various demand notices and bank drafts will definitely come flying in like a vast snowflake!
Having not earned a single penny, and instead having to repay a mountain of debt, this was simply a hopeless situation with no way out!
If things continue like this, forget about making money; even the hope of their group, the " Evergreen Heaven Seal " that he poured countless hours of his heart and soul into, is probably... beyond saving!
"No! Absolutely not! That's our Changqing Group's last hope! We must protect it no matter what!"
Shen Zekai suddenly sprang up from the sofa, a mad, resolute, and blood-red glint flashing in his eyes.
Whether it's using their most trusted political connections, begging and pleading with banks, or even painfully selling off subsidiaries like cabbages...
Even if it means losing hands and feet, suffering broken bones, and barely clinging to life, the " Evergreen Heaven Seal " development, Changqing Group's last face and last hope, must be protected at all costs!
It absolutely cannot fall!
